This is my matching numbers 4 speed TATA. The car is very tight, very fast and is the most fun to drive of any Trans am I have owned over the past 35 years. The car is in excellent condition, always stored indoors and from what I can tell has always been well cared for with no rust ever, car has always been in the south.The previous owner is a Pontiac collector known for the quality of his cars. The paint is 15 years old and shows some wear and chips, but still shows great and draws a crowd anywhere she goes. It will need paint at some time to be concourse, look at the pictures and you can see the paint still looks great. The interior looks almost new, there is a fingernail chip on the steering wheel, drivers seat shows some use. see the pictures. All glass including mirrored T-tops look almost new. Everything works, the clock gets stuck sometimes, the radio has been replaced with a Pioneer radio/cd, stock ones are available on Ebay. Mechanically the car is near perfect and needs nothing to go across country, I would have no hesitation doing so. The matching numbers motor was refreshed at 55k and is super strong, it does have a slight puff of smoke on hot restarts, this is due to the valve guides being knurled by the machine shop instead of replaced, these heads do not use a typical valve guide seal so the guides will need to be replaced someday, it does not smoke at all after startup and does not consume oil and does not bother me at all, I know the motor is tight. The Super T10 is matching numbers and appears to have been refreshed at some date, I have no records of when, but it shifts great and is very quite. The rear end is matching numbers and was serviced by me, including axle seals, balancing driveshaft and new u joints. There is too much about the car to list here, it can be enjoyed for years as is or take it to the concourse level if you want. These are one of the fastest appreciating collector cars there is, hate to let it go but I have other cars I need money to finish. Please only bid if you can have funds available within 7 days, Buyer pays all shipping cost, I will help coordinate shipping with you for free or if you want to fly to Atlanta and drive it home I can pick you up at the airport. Please call Mark at 770-480-8085 for any questions or photos you need. Thanks for looking

GM repairing 40,500 Pontiac Vibes as part of Toyota airbag recall
Wed, 09 Apr 2014General Motors has confirmed to Autoblog that the Pontiac Vibe is included in Toyota's just-announced recall action. The Vibe and the Toyota Matrix share a large number of parts, including the affected cable to the airbag.
"About 40,500 Pontiac Vibes from the 2009-2010 model years are included in the Toyota recall. Toyota designed and engineered the Vibe for Pontiac. GM will service customers with these vehicles when Toyota makes the parts available," said GM recall spokesperson Alan Adler to Autoblog in an email.
The recall covers 1.3 million Toyota units in the US, including 2009-2010 Corolla, Matrix and Tacoma, the 2008-2010 Highlander, the 2006-2008 Rav4 and 2006-2010 Yaris, plus the addition of the 2009-2010 Vibe. The models all have their airbag module attached via a spiral electrical cable. The connections on this cable can be damaged when turning the steering wheel. Once broken, the airbag deactivates and the airbag warning light comes on. Toyota has an improved part, but it's still making preparations to begin repairs. It will begin notifying owners soon.
Automakers tussle over owners of 'orphan' makes
Thu, 10 May 2012When General Motors put down several of its brands in recent years, it also let loose thousands of brand-loyal customers who will eventually need another car.
R.L. Polk Associates estimates there are more than 18 million cars from 16 discontinued makes on the road today. Those "orphan owners" have sales-hungry competitors seeing dollar signs. GM is offering Saturn owners $1,000 cash toward a Chevy Cruze, Cadillac CTS or a GMC Acadia. Ford is giving its Mercury lease customers a chance to get out of their contracts with no early-termination penalty and offering to waive six remaining payments if they drive off in a Ford or Lincoln.
Edmunds.com research shows the efforts are paying off somewhat for GM, with 39 percent of Pontiac owners, 37 percent of Hummer owners and 31 percent of Saturn owners taking delivery of another GM-branded vehicle. But that leaves as much as 69 percent of owners going elsewhere. Ford, Honda and Toyota seem to be attracting many former GM owners.
2008-2009 Pontiac G8 recalled over airbag concern
Mon, 07 Nov 2011General Motors is recalling around 38,000 Pontiac G8 sedans from its 2008 and 2009 model years. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration reports that the cars may have a passenger-side airbag flaw that might prevent proper deployment in certain scenarios.
According to NHTSA, the airbag might not adequately protect a fifth percentile woman - that is, a woman around four-foot, 11-inches weighing 108 pounds. The New York Times indicates that the anomaly was found during a crash test conducted by GM's Australian branch, Holden, which was testing the G8's twin (read: Commodore) for head injuries. According to that report, the test in question is specifically tailored to simulate injuries to females, so the results do not apply to men or children.
The issue has been blamed on a seat position sensor that governs airbag deployment rates. NHTSA indicates that when the front passenger seat is moved all the way forward, the faulty sensor may inappropriately trigger a 30-millisecond delay between airbag stages, potentially leading to greater injuries.
